Wirte your state Legislators!!!

I was directed to that yesterday. There was a story (a little more in-depth) on the NWA News site.

You don't think this has anything to do with THIS do you?

Is he really asking this question...of course separate schools are competing for students after all universities are businesses too!

My question is, isn't most of what UCA uses from endowments anyway?

This is all just a big political mess because the U of A had to cut their budget because their enrollment did not grow as much as they expected it to this year!!!! U of A bureaucracy=

Off the chance that people visiting from out of state at all times of year see these advertisements on TV in their hotel rooms, or at the place they are staying, or on the radio. That might be how they hear about, let's say UCA (or any other in state school), for the first time. Then they go back to their home out of state and visit uca.edu and all of a sudden you have people from out of state interested in our school, or any other in state school for that matter. Then the prospective student and or parents visit UCA, or to be fair ANY of the other schools in ARKANSAS, one weekend to visit campus, and again, spend their money in Conway and ARKANSAS, and upon leaving the student decides to make UCA their college home for the next 4-5 years. At that point, you are bringing in out of state students and their parents willing to spend their money in our state over a 4 or 5 (or in some cases, longer) year span.


But in the above scenario, I cant possibly see what the state of ARKANSAS could possibly gain from the advertisement of any schools. The fact people would come to spend money in our state, decide to go to school here, and possibly even decide to live here in state once their college life is over, that cant be beneficial to this state at all can it?

LOL...

Amen Brother....Preach On!!!!!!

Burly Bear

And so it begins...... Folks, expect more of this.

I wonder where those three State Senators proposing this all graduated from? As C+C Music Factory sang years ago it "Makes You Want To Go HUMMMMM!!!!"

More importantly, I believe that is the first C+C Music Factory reference in this board's history. October 6, 2006, a landmark day for UCAfans.com

What is C+C Music Factory???

You must be pretty young. They were a horrible "tehcno" type "band" that had a couple of hits in the late 80s or early 90s. They also paraded a thin model to lipsync in their videos because the actual singer was pretty healthy.

Healthy!

I think the song was actually "Things That Make You Go Hmm".
They pretty much just sang that line over and over again with a "yeah" thrown in there.

Example:
Healthy woman: "Things That Make You Go Hmm"
Some dude: "Things That Make You Go Hmm"
Healthy woman: "Things That Make You Go Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, yeah"

And repeat....

That's quality writin' right there. Wasn't it inspired by the equally entertaining Arsenio Hall (Josh, he was an actor and had a latenight talk show in the 80s and 90s)? Maybe this board needs to shut down for a while and "retool" to attract a fresh new audience? You could add a "Dog Pound".
